At what point did it start? Hard Candy Jun opened the video website at one point, saw the full screen of newcomer actors in front of his eyes, and wanted to ask sincerely:
Is my aesthetic not able to keep up with the trend, or is the appearance of the post-95 actors also downgraded?
Today's little flowers have become popular with a slightly old-fashioned dull face. It is said that the main play is acting, well, "face with acting" is true.
This is not a hard candy jun deliberately picking a few young actresses with medium appearance to be partial. Now, please write 5 "95 flowers" whose appearance can be compared with Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, and Zhao Liying's wave of "85 flowers". See what answers you can deliver.
The male actor's side is even more miserable, and the costumes are competing for ugliness. And they don't even have the fig leaf of "acting". Of course, it is said that there are people and fans.
Recently, in the second season of "Actors Please Take Place", Chen Youwei, an actor who came from Aidou, starred in the role of Ye Hua played by Zhao Youting in "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms".
A comparison, let people realize that the post-85 students who were madly spitting out their acting skills and spitting on their appearance were actually a rare white moonlight of the prosperous world.
As director Er Dongsheng commented in the show, young male actors can't even control the basic facial features, and the facial expression of crying scenes is like chewing gum, which is embarrassing to ridiculous.
A casting director who has been in the industry for many years can't help but complain to the hard candy jun: the actor information received now has all the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods. The output of film and television dramas has increased, the threshold of actors has become lower, and the overall appearance and quality have declined almost inevitably.
Supposedly, body shame is very politically incorrect. What kind of growth should have the right to pursue the dream of the showbiz, so that low-value groups can also achieve "entertainment freedom", which is a kind of Internet universal benefit.
But after all, appearance is a very important part of the quality of an actor's business. Especially if the role is handsome and beautiful, it is not difficult to use acting skills to make up for the appearance. If we can evaluate the talent of the director, then the discussion of the actor's appearance seems to be within the scope of personal talent.
In the entire entertainment market, the problem of the actor's appearance is essentially an industrial problem (not a plastic surgery industry problem).
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > why is the market popular with "oligosmother" actresses? </h1>
It all starts with the sweet pet drama we just discussed.
As the main force of web dramas, sweet pet dramas are undoubtedly the base camp for the output of new actors in the past two years. All kinds of players have poured in one after another, but the sweet pet drama is still in the wild state without boutique labels. The actor's appearance has gone all the way down, which may be a manifestation of the industrial crisis behind the sweet pet drama.
"If you think about the fact that almost all the big and small film and television companies in the industry are doing sweet pet dramas, the market demand for newcomer actors in sweet pet dramas is beyond imagination." While solving the puzzle for the hard candy king, a certain artist agent did not forget the sweet pet drama to be broadcast by Amway's own actors.
Hard Candy Jun remembered that at a domestic film festival last year, he was queuing for an event, and the uncle in front of him suddenly grabbed the hand of the volunteer boy who checked the tickets, and asked anxiously: "Have you been signed?" Are you interested in being an entertainer? "It made my generation of onlookers confused."
According to the hard candy jun, this guy is just a middle-aged posture, and the photogenic situation is not necessarily. This uncle who came out of nowhere insisted on signing him in a hurry. After finishing the incident, the uncle did not forget to hand over his own artist information to the onlookers. Open the information, it is all a stack of unknown new actors with unremarkable looks.
In line with the principle of Cantonese strange people, Hard Candy Jun quickly added Uncle WeChat. But what is surprising is that the uncle's circle of friends almost every day uninterruptedly posts the news of his own artists entering the group, and the group that enters is still a sweet pet drama.
It seems that the huge holes in the actors needed for sweet pet dramas have all been filled by these "ordinary star scouts". In this industrial chain, a large number of new actors are promoted to the market by seedlings.
The selection criteria for actresses have also changed due to the prevalence of sweet pet dramas. The girl with the kind and small skeleton next door is considered the most suitable for sweet pet dramas.
First, because only this type of girl can be walled by male protagonists with low height and mediocre qualifications, touch their heads and kill, and kiss with multiple cameras, resulting in a sense of height difference CP cuteness; second, in the producer's view, ordinary girls will make the main audience of sweet pet dramas - the majority of ordinary girls more substitution.
Although there are a bunch of sweet pet heroines on the market, Shen Yue, Zhao Lusi, Song Yiren, Bu Guanjin and other information, all show that the height is about 160cm, but it is often questioned by netizens that its real height is only 150cm. Coincidentally, a similar situation has occurred in neighboring Japan. Due to the popularity of the genre dramas similar to domestic sweet pet girls' manga genres, a number of small flowers such as Kana Hashimoto, Mizaku Imada, Miwa Hambe, and Suzu Hirose are all less than 160cm.
During the epidemic period, the Japanese drama "Carry love to the end" that made the domestic pig girl bump to the head, in which the actor of "Little Meng New Nurse" Ishishi Mengyin is only 152cm tall.
Interestingly, in China, the audience deeply feels that the present is not as good as in the past, and the appearance of the little flower is not as good as that of the "85 flowers". There are also a number of Japanese netizens who criticize Xiaohua not only for the height difference of a large flower, but also the appearance of the big flower Isaami Nagasawa, Kitagawa Keiko, Ayase Haruka and so on.
Before this batch of small flowers fully debuted, domestic "85 flowers" such as Angelababy, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Liu Yifei, Tang Yan, etc., have been complained about poor acting skills.
In a sense, the various personal qualities of the younger generation of actresses can also be regarded as a "correction" to the previous generation. Among the new four small flowers that are now highly respected in the industry, Zhang Zifeng, Zhang Xueying, and Wen Qi, although their appearance is obviously inferior to that of the previous generation, their acting skills are indeed remarkable. Bu Guanjin and other "dull face" actresses are also considered to be representatives of the post-95 acting school.
No wonder some netizens joked: the average acting skills of xiaohua after 85 are the worst, and the average appearance of xiaohua after 95 is the lowest.
But is acting and appearance so incompatible? Hard Candy Jun has also been tired of the "85 Flowers" copy-paste-like plot and acting skills. But looking at the new people who are now full of "little old lady" style, there is no need to be so overcorrected.
Just watch a play, I want to see beauty.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > a large influx of love beans, actors become the first choice for "re-employment"? </h1>
If the industry respects acting small flowers and sweet pet dramas to find a "plain-looking" girl next door to facilitate substitution, it will jointly lead to a collective decline in the appearance of post-95 actresses. So who is the culprit of the male protagonist's reduced appearance?
At the beginning of the article, Hard Candy Jun mentioned that the actor who was sprayed with face value at the beginning of the year was named Zhang Jiongmin. Before 2019, he was still a dragon runner, brushing his face in "Demon Young Master Don't Kiss Me" starring Xing Fei.
But after participating in the "Creation Camp" in 2019, he actually took over two male protagonist plays "Report wang ye, the princess is a cat" and "You are the joy of youth". Just by looking at the name, both are sweet pet dramas.
Pasty Bean, who is not remembered by the name at all, can receive two male protagonist plays, so many "puppets" and "creators" who have participated in "Idol Trainee", "Youth Has You", "Creation Camp", who does not want to come to the actor industry to share a piece of the pie?
After all, there is a lack of singing stage in China, and the way out of Love Beans is acting and variety shows. If you encounter a work like "Chen Qing Ling", you may be able to become a top stream like Xiao Zhan of the X Jiu Youth League and Wang Yibo of UNIQ.
The first batch of "puppets" Chen Linong, Fan Chengcheng, Lin Yanjun, Zhu Zhengting, Wang Ziyi, etc. have all acted on the male protagonist. There is even a series of "puppets" and "creators" on the market, "In the Dust of the World", the male protagonist "puppet" Bi Wenjun partners "creator" Wu Xuanyi and R1SE Zhai Xiaowen.
Even if the traffic is not as good as their next generation of "puppets", UNINE group members Chen Youwei and He Changxi also want to participate in the acting variety show and realize the re-employment of the actor industry.
When the stage of "Actors Please Take Place" was sprayed by a group of judges, Aidou was still a "I will cheer, modest and hardworking" attitude, completely copying the character design of the draft period, and fans also implored the audience to be tolerant and give time to grow. Dare to say, now not only love beans to cultivate, actors must also cultivate?
The acting ceiling of youth dramas and idol dramas is not high, coupled with the halo effect of idols, being blown by fans' rainbow farts, aidou is easy to produce the fluke of "I act OK". In order to take into account the idol's own job and the variety show announcement, the phenomenon of idol actors rolling drama has made the tempering of acting skills into a "castle in the air". Sometimes the script doesn't have time to read, let alone figure out the characters.
The overload of output in the idol market, the traffic worship of the film and television industry, and the urgent need for idol transformation have jointly contributed to the chaos of idol actors everywhere.
But the film and television market is not the reality show scene of "Actor 101", and not all audiences are show fans, waiting for their picks to grow into acting actors.
The more common reality is that these male love beans, like most of the Internet celebrities who jumped into the show business circle such as Zhang Yuxi, Lin Xiaozhai, Song Weilong, and Hu Day, their appearance cannot withstand the test of different angles of the camera. As director Er Dongsheng said, he didn't even have the basic skills to control his five senses.
Fans are immersed in their own two-dimensional P-chart beauty filters, but they don't know their true face in the three-dimensional world. Love bean face, net red face and actor face should not form a so-called chain of contempt, but the main characteristics are indeed different, there are different terminal adaptations.
However, no matter how hard candy Jun is slandered, he obviously can't stop a large wave of love bean male actors from invading. After all, the producers are optimistic, you are old.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > misunderstood aesthetic? </h1>
Chinese opera teacher Liu Tianchi, over the years the studio has continuously sent actors to sweet pet dramas. She observed from film and television dramas that the heads and faces of actors have a tendency to become smaller and smaller.
In order to cater to the market, casting directors and college teachers have set small faces and small heads as the basic barriers for screening actors.
However, such selection criteria severely limit the real actor's face. The face should be small, the eyes should be large, and the space for the five senses to play "beauty" is very small. As a result, in the acting departments of major colleges and universities, few actors have recognition. For example, the group photo of this year's Nortel freshmen flowing out of the network, Zhang Zifeng, who has a slightly inferior appearance, is the most recognizable.
A small head and a small face have become a hard indicator of aesthetics, but if the face is a canvas, is it big or small, and there is more room for play? The ancient costume of the male love bean is always a little strange, according to the hard candy Jun, it is the reason why the big facial features are cramped on the small face and do not seem to be stretched enough.
The standard of beauty should be inclusive, there can be many kinds, but it is misread by the market as only one, and a fixed formula is formed. The misread aesthetic is limiting the single presentation of the actor's face on the screen.
As viewers, we strive to be brainwashed by these new face aesthetics. Senior face, love bean face... Although it often ends in "get not enough". Such a vicious circle, the actor can not get out of the strange circle of low appearance.
Youth, sweet pet and other types of dramas have a large demand for new actors, love bean net red to go to the actor industry to re-employment, rapid expansion of the entertainment circle, turnip fast do not wash mud is almost inevitable. This trend will go further with the rise of short video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou, which is almost irreversible.
In this process, the top-down elite culture of the past showbiz has been replaced by the current bottom-up popular trend, regardless of appearance or acting skills, the "hard threshold" has finally lost to the "shining point" in the eyes of fans.
Thinking about the good, it may be ugly, and we are used to it. Even give birth to "Maybe I can do it?" The illusion of ", but also quite can stimulate self-confidence."
